Issue Summary

I tried to uninstall all modules (even though I suspect I will loose a lot of data) becuase I was trying to get rid of the unfixable "unknown table n" bug which has been defeating developers since early this year.

So now my website is steaming pile of useless house manure.

help!

(BTW: I am a second class citizen that uses windows and I do not anderstand your techno-1337 speak please use english).

PS. If your answer is the drupal standard of get the CVS version... I want to say some very rude things about that... please simple move on there is nothing to see here.

However if you have an actual cure, help or something for me thank you in advance.

Not a core bug. That function comes from category module, and it sounds like something got hosed on your sytem, rather than it being a problem with the module, so moving to support request. Hopefully now the maintainer can see it and provide better guidance.

Here's some English for you: If you want people to help you out, I suggest changing your tone. We're volunteers who help out where we can, and aren't getting paid to put up with abuse.

I ran into this wall. Here's my workaround:

1. delete the modules/category directory
2. run this SQL:

DELETE FROM `system` WHERE `filename` LIKE 'modules/category%';
DELETE FROM `system` WHERE `filename` LIKE 'modules/taxonomy%';
DELETE FROM `system` WHERE `filename` LIKE 'modules/views%';
. That will whack the strings to the category module. It will also whack taxonomy and views. But if you have all three they are interdependant and they will not work because taxonomy and views anticipate category. When it is removed these two will generated errors.
3. After this, you can choose to re-add taxonomy and/or views. Removing these modules shouldn't destroy taxnomy terms already held in the vocabulary_node_types table.

Reinstall taxonomy.module. Category installs a wrapper module that replaces the taxonomy and book modules, and you didn't switch back to the originals before uninstalling Category. (There should be backups of the original taxonomy and book modules in the modules directory.)
